When people think of China they almost always think of
Pandas. Giant pandas are only found in
Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in China. It is estimated that 2,000 giant
pandas live in the wild and 70% of them live in Sichuan Province.
We wanted to make sure my parents saw giant pandas on their
visit so we went to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The
center has built natural habitats for pandas to live and breed in. At the
center we were able to see ten baby pandas. Some were just born and had no
hair, while others were black and white and cute.
Besides housing pandas, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant
Panda Breeding also houses other endangered animals such as: red pandas, black
necked cranes, and storks.
There was a fun museum and learning center that had books, displays
of information about pandas and interactive activities for visitors. My kids
loved recording their impersonations of a panda and having it compared to a
pandas real roar.
